Putting a set of BFG TA K02 on LT265/70R17. I have a set of Duratracs on currenly that are about half worn but have become so noisy the truck is almost undriveable. Very minor cupping/feathering of the front tires. I wouldn't think that would make them as loud as they are. Too bad because I really liked them. I have also noticed a drop in snow traction this winter compared to last winter.

Didn't happen today, but lots of work recently. Installed new tires on the front after an oversight caused the fronts to wear and cup badly. Installed new springs I picked up from a member to correct the sagging w/ the bumper/winch. Road trip to the NC mountains for work and had to replace a wheel hub when I got back. Hoping for a maintenance free remainder of January.

That's the best route. I took all the bolts out from my intake cover. It just sits on there now because it seems like to anything on the passenger side, you have to move the intake and/or the washer fluid tank.

is there any benefit or drawback to installing them with the boots on the bottom or is it just personal preference?

Not all shocks can be ran both ways though...

Yes, it depends on how the shock valves are built and whether it is gas charged or hydraulic. The installation instructions that come with the Fox 2.0s specifically note that then CAN be installed whichever direction you like. Always check your 'structions!

Debating cancelling the PitBull order after waiting since election day and still no word other than the free shipping has been changed to 200 bucks... Kinda shitty thing to do as a company when you have people waiting for months patiently and sent some out already with free shipping.

I hate to advocate weird chemicals, alcohol, violence or insanity to anyone...butthey've always worked for me.

Plus they have never contacted people about it. They refunded all orders and said they would call for payment when the tires are ready...then they hit you with shipping... I only found out via FB and Pirate. Its like they figured out they are losing money and want to get people to cancel orders. As much as I want the rubber...hard to support a company that is not upfront with what is going on. I mean they could have just said...we screwed up and we have to charge shipping, sorry. However, they never have. They also did another sale since then and made a big deal about letting those people know it was a long lead time and no free shipping.

Got my tuned PCM/TCM installed today. I pulled the PCM/TCM out of 2009 TB from a local yard for about $60. Tuned as follows 92 octane, 33" tires, 4.10 gears, no towing, shift firmness 2 at stock shift points, TCC PMW % at 90% to keep TC locked on highway. TB really pulls nice off the line even with 87 in the tank.

I had mine done a few weeks ago.. I think that is one of the best mods yet.
